Objective To clarify the actions of tranilast,an anti allergic drug,on chronic constriction mononeuropathy through an experiment using an animal model according to the method of Bennett et al. Methods 36 rats were divided into 2 groups: one was treated with tranilast(200mg/kg?d-1,p.o every experimental day),the other was controlled with solvent only. Chronological changes of heat evoked withdrawal latencies on a hot plate,nerve coducting velocitics, and histopathological changes were compared between the two groups from one to four weeks after loose ligation in the sciatic nerve. Results The changes of the withdrawal latency and nerve conducting velocities in the tranilast treatment group were significantly longer than those in the control. The rats without tranilast treatment showed inflammation in and around the constricted nerve bundles,axonal degeneration,phagocytes invasion and interstitial edematous changes at 7 days,numerous axonal sprouts and remyelination at 14 days,and regeneration in the nerve bundles at 28 days. In contrast,the rats treated with tranilast showed less inflammation or nerve fiber degeneration,and better regeneration than those of the control. Conclusion The actions of tranilast appear to have beneficial effects on prophylaxis of a chronic constriction mononeuropathy and on preservation of the nerve functions in rats.

HCV NS5B, acting as a RNA dependent replication enzyme,has emerged as an attractive protein used as a target for screenig of drugs against HCV NS5B, and plays an important role in HCV replication. In the report the gene expression of NS5B in E.coli was investigated. PCR was performed to gain the gene of HCV NS5B from plasmid pBRTM/HCV 1 which contains whole sequence of HCV, and the truncated NS5B gene containing no hydrophobic domain was cloned into pGEM Teasy vector. The gene of the truncated NS5B was cut from pGEM Teasy vector and cloned into E.coli expression plasmid pET 21b, then pET 21b NS5B was transfected into E.coli cells. The protein E.coli lysates were purified and analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS PAGE) and Western blotting assay. The RdRp activity of NS5B was examined by scintillation proximity assay (SPA). The truncated NS5B gene was successfully cloned into pET 21b. The results of SDS PAGE and Western blotting assay showed: ①the molecular weight of the expressed product was about 68 000 D, ②The truncated NS5B protein was existed in media of E.coli cells, ③The activity of NS5BDCT21 His from HCV 1b amounted to 6 900 cpm (total incorporation of approximately). These findings suggest that soluble NS5B can be successfully expressed in E.coli and could secret into media.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of preoperative eye position training on femtosecond laser-assisted laser in situ keratomileusis(FL-LASIK)? Methods One hundred and sixty-eight myopia patients(328 eyes)scheduled for selective FL-LASIK were randomly divided into the experiment group of 85 cases(166 eyes)and the control group of 83 cases(162 eyes)?The patients in the control group were given the routine preoperative education and the patients in the experiment group received the preoperative intervention of eye position besides routine preoperative education? The two groups were compared in terms of intraoperative changes of eye position,corneal topography and the postoperative visual acuity? Results The frequency of eye position adjustment and machine stopping in the experiment group was significantly smaller than that of the control group(P < 0?001)? But no significant differences were found between the two groups in corneal topography and the postoperative visual acuity(P > 0?05)? Conclusion Preoperative training of eye position may maintain ideal eye position and reduce the frequency of downtime due to eye position adjustment during FL-LASIK,which may ensure the successful completion of FL-LASIK?

Objective To study the prevention and treatment of severe complications of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation(PRFA)for hepatic malignancy. Methods A series of 939 patients with primary hepatic carcinoma or hepatic metastasis confirmed by pathological examinations or clinical manifestations underwent 1098 treatments of PRFA between January 2006 and December 2009. All the patients were followed up to study the short-or long-term complications related to PRFA. Results Complications developed in 9 patients: bile duct injury (4 patients), hemothorax (2 patients), and intra-abdominal hemorrhage (3 patients). The incidence of complication was 0.82% (9/1098) and the complication-related mortality was 11.1% (1/9). Conclusions Although PRFA which is minimally invasive, is a safe and effective treatment, there were still risks for this procedure, especially when the tumor is located at the portahepatic region or the patient has coagulopathy. Some serious complications can be prevented. It is important to observe the strict indications for RFA and to carry out the procedure carefully. Early detection of complication is important.

Objective To study the effect of the serum testosterone/estradiol ratio (T/E2) alteration on sperm defect and fertility. Methods The testosterone, estradiol, FSH, LH, PRL,sperm parameters and sperm morphology of 90 men were analyzed and the T/E2 and multiple anomalies index (MAI) were calculated. The patients were divided into 3 groups; T/E2≤10 (Ⅰ), T/E2>10 (Ⅱ), and T/E2>20 (Ⅲ). Results The sperm concentration and motility among the 3 groups were not significantly different (P>0. 05). The percentages of the sperm whose head, neck and tail were abnormal declined gradually with the increase of the T/E2 in serum. The percentage of sperm head defeet of group Ⅰ was significantly higher than that of group Ⅲ (t=2. 482, P=0. 016) and that of sperm neck defect of groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ were significantly higher than that of group Ⅲ (t=4.113, 2. 050, P=0.000, 0. 046, respectively). The percentage of sperm tail defect among 3 groups was significantly different (t=2. 722, 3. 996, 3. 110, P=0. 008, 0. 000, 0. 003, respectively). The SDI of group Ⅱ was significantly higher than that of group Ⅰ (t= -2. 293, P= 0. 025). But the TZI increased gradually with the increase of the serum T/E2 and the TZI of groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ were significantly higher than that of group Ⅰ (t=2. 285, 2. 727, P=0. 025, 0. 009, respectively). The percentage of the men in group Ⅰ whose partners became pregnant was 29. 5% and those of groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ were 50% and 42.9%, respectively. Although the percentage among three groups was not different statistically (x2 = 3. 285, 0. 854, 0. 199, P= 0. 070, 0. 355, 0. 655, respectively), the relative risks of groups Ⅱ and Ⅲ were 2.4 and 1.8 times of that of group Ⅰ. There were 25, 15, 7 cases of idiopathic infertility among the 3 groups, respectively. The relative risk of I group was 1.5 and 1.3 times of that of Ⅱ and Ⅲ groups. The correlation analysis showed that the T/E2 in serum had significantly negative correlation with the percent of the sperm head or neck or tail defects (r= -0. 209, -0. 316 and -0. 335,respectively and P= 0. 048, 0. 002 and 0. 001, respectively). Conclusions The decrease of T/E2 in serum was correlative with the decrease of fertility probability, but it did not alter the sperm density and the sperm motility. It showed that the level of the T/E2 in serum was important for spermatogenesis and sperm fertilizing capability.
